Thank you Norm, Very interesting indeed!

Interesting, although no real surprises.

Now all I have to do is find that single deck game where I can play 400 hands/day for 7 years w/no cover and not get tossed. :-)

I'm surprised,under all conditions they came out of the shoot like a rocket!' and never looked back. How wonderful,if it was this easy I might have been rich by now,but as you know paper figures are not always what they appear to be in the real world.

They all were down thousands at some point. One was down 23,900.

I see what you're talking about,(6deck cover) I was looking at the 1 year graphs. I did notice when selecting the 10 day graph,it appears in the middle(or some point)of of the first day of the session the player was down 23,900. However,within a few weeks he came out of the red and never looked back,the other players also seemed to be very fortunate in breaking away early.

If you keep the period shorter and examine other parts of the charts, you will see losses of over $100,000. They just don't show clearly if the time period is large as the scale increases.
